THE BEGINNING.
An Eye witness Describes the Gathering
of the Storm.

An Eye witness Describes the Gathering
of the Storm.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
it grew intensely warm, and heavy clouds
rapidly formed toward the east and
southwest and sharp lightning and heavy
thunder followed, while of to the west and
northwest clouds of a peculiar reddish
color came into view. The whole heavens
above the town was Of that reddish: yellow
color which precedes the terrible cyclones
of the west Clouds and winds were
plainly visible coming from the southwest
and northwest, and forming into funnel
shape, and in the meantime
heavy hail, not much harder
than snowballs, fell thick and fast, mash
ing on the ground. In less time than it takes
to write it the funnel shaped wind column
came over the hill west of the town, lift
ing the school house of the top of the hill
near the old Blocker house. shiyering 1t
into splinters. The building was full OF
children at the time, but the house was
lifted up bodily leaving the floor and the
children in their seats unhurt. The lm-
mense barn of Hiram McCOmbs was totally
demolished and the cyclone passed on
over the hill, taking all the out
buildings of J. S. Cochran's and part OF
his house and iDjuring Mr.. Cochran,
breaking his hand. Crossing the hollow,
blowing down all fences and trees IN its
track, it struck dwelling house on Joel
Woods farm, destroying it completely, and
a fine orchard on the farm. John Ottn'
ger, living in the house was standing near
it when the cyclone struck it, and he was
carried several hundred feet into fence
and had his shoulder dislocated. His wife
and two children were badly bruised.
The storm continued rapidly down into
the city tearing everything before it.

the inmates escaped instant death. But
escape they did, and there is in this much
cause for thanksgiving.
The occasion appeals forcibly to our peo-
pie, and those in a position to do so, should
lose no time in contributing TO the aid OF
the sufferers. Mayor Keller and the Coun-
cilmen of the town have done and will do
all in their power to alleviate distress, and
in this they will be ably seconded and aid
ed by the citizens of the place. But the
means at their disposal will be necessarily
inadequate, and the outside world must
come to their relief. 1t is probable that to-
day some steps will be taken by our citizens
to extend help to those in distress.
Below will be found in detail the Incl
dents of the afternoon.

A LITTLE GIRL HANGED
BIZ A WOMAN WHO WANTED TO
MARRY HER FATHER.
A Detective Charged With Trafflck-
Ing I'm Young Girls for In
moral Purposes.

PuLABKLPHrA, Pa, March TO-
When John w N,bliek returned to
his home, No. 2oll E street, last even.
ing he found his two small children
crying, and on looking around was
horror stricken to see his Is year old
daughter, Annie, hanging by a rope
attached 81 tbs transom Of dor COM
municating between the two rooms Of
the first hoor. II was but the work Of
q moment for the horror stricken par
ent TO draw his knife aud sever the
cord, but the girl WAS cold and stiff
in death, and had evidently been dead
for several hours. About three feet
from the body, just inside Of the door
leading to the fiont room, was chair,
lying on its side, and the Theory is
tina! she had attempted to arrange a
swing, when the chair tilted, ana in
the fall the rope became knotted
around her neck. The girl was wo-
manly beyond her years and devoted
her whole time 10 The ca'e OF the
house aud her little brother and sister,
their mother being dead, and although
deprived In great measure OF the
pleasures and recreations Of children
Of her ag-, never complained, but was
always Of cheerful and hap
Ply disposition. From these facts
IL is believed that her dea h was the
result OF accident rather than deSgi.
Flu ther invest cation into the case
Of the liz 10 girl, Annie NlbllCk, whose
hfeless body was found by her father
last evening hanging from the tranrom
OF door at her home, leads 10 the
susp cion that thu gir's death was
neiiher the result OF accident nor sui
eide. When the father returned from
his work and iound bis daughter
hanging in the house, his other two
children, q boy aAed years and an
infant, were crouched In corner OF
the room badly frightened. UpoI
questioning the b y he told his father
that Mrs. M Clellahd and Flora. her
daughter, had been there and that
Mrs. McOlelland had tied Annie to the
door transom. Mrs. MvOlelland is a
neighb Il Nibliok's. Little notice
was a. first taken OF the child's story,
but later In the nitht Niblick reported
the matter to the police Ms. Nc.
Olellhnu anu n6r uhuKuJef Noie
placed under arrest and this morning
were committed 10 await the action OF
the coroner. Mr. NIblick is a widower
and Annie, who was 10 years OF age,
has been his housokeeper since the
death OF the mother. Mrs McClelland
had separated from her husband, aud
and II Is asserted by some thai she
wanted TO marry Niblick aud tnat her
chances OF success would be improved
were the little housekeeper ous OF the
way.
At the hearing todsy the boy rs.
peated his story and answered all
questions In straightforward manner.
Mrs. McOielland admitted that she
visited the Niblicks yesterday alter
noon, but denied that she knew any
thing OF the girls death. But little
else was cleaned at the hearing. The
whole sffair Is shrouded in mys cry,
and but for the positive statement Of
the boy no one would have suspected
foul play.
